katastrofy91: I want to give an update to this issue. My problem appears to have been caused by me blocking the Windows Service LSASS.EXE from accessing the internet.
I had the exact same issue with Borderlands, and fixing LSASS.EXE helped fixing that game as well.
I'll try to detail the issue as much as possible:
What happens:
GOG Galaxy (and
Borderlands 3 for its SHIFT network) wont connect to Galaxy Cloud Storage for cloudsaves. Same issue appears to happen to the "similar games" tab.
What is the cause: GOG Galaxy (and Borderlands 3) are trying to verify the TLS/SSL Certificates installed on the Windows computer. But can't validate the certs due to a Windows Service being offline/blocked from internet.
Root cause (in my instance): The Windows Service
LSASS.EXE was blocked from accessing the internet. It tries to connect to a website (through the normal HTTP protocol on TCP Port 80).
How to fix: Add a new firewall rule to windows.
The fastest and dirtiest way is to start Command Prompt (cmd.exe) in admin mode and type/copy in this command:
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="LSASS Remote Port 80" dir=out action=allow program="C:\WINDOWS\System32\lsass.exe" enable=yes protocol=TCP remoteport=80 This will add a Windows Firewall exception where the LSASS Service is allowed to connect to the internet only through port 80
To delete it, just run:
netsh advfirewall firewall delete rule name="LSASS Remote Port 80" You mileage may vary depending on if you use the Windows Firewall or any other 3rd party Firewall software.
This is the solution that resolved the issue.
- Issue only started today, 11/7/2022 for my Cyberpunk 2077 game.
- Running Command Prompt as Admin > Copy and Pasting the lines as you posted > pressed enter & BAM! issue no longer exists (exited Cyberpunk 2077 and the Cloud Sync successfully worked).
